Apology To The Public!
x. John Little & Co.

The immense crowds that have thronged our es-
the great sale of w. G. Darrahs stock of Gloves at
an average price of less than SOC $I.OO, greatly
exceeded our expectations, and though we had five
times usual number of saIeswomen in this de-
partment, we found them altogether inadequate to
wait upon half the customers, and for want space
we could only show portion of the goods.
We regret our inability to wait on all, and hereby
announce that today and tomorrow we will have on
extra force and have the Gloves arranged SO that
everyone can be waited on without delay.
The wonderful bargains at this mammoth sale
astonish the best judges.

The Toronto Globe seems to have dashed
itself into state of unnecessary fury over
Mr. Chamberlain and his utterances. No
doubt Mr.. Chamberlain's tongue has injured
his usefulness as commissioner, but if the
commission proves failure it will be more on
account Of the attitude of the Dominion than
from Mr.. Chamberlain's indscretion. Appar-
entlythe Canadians have made up their minds
to tolerate no construction OF the Treaty of
1918 except the one they have put upon it,
and to insist that the only question compe-
tent for the commission to discuss is what
the United States shall pay for the privileges
that our fishermen want in Dominion ports.

tude and the British commissioners accept

The Greatest
Spring Tonic.

AT this season of the year almost
every one experiences sensation of
general lassitude and debility, which,
if neglected, results in low, vitiated
condition of the vital forces, that
follows the sufferer throughout the
summer, and usually terminates in
some form of malarial or typhoid
fever. If, however, the patient has
the wisdom to take some reliable
remedy that gently acts on the slug
gish liver, enabling it to speedily
carry off all impurities, while at the
same time the system is vitalized and
invigorated, and the blood enriched,
the result is condition of vigorous
health. This result is invariably
brought about bv

Lawns may be fortified without
coating them with rank stable manure,
so as to make them look like barn
yard. Pulverizcd poultry manure sown
upon the grass will sufficiently enrich
it, and ut the same time will not disfig-
ure it, as it will settle in among the
grass roots out of sight. Occasionally
dressing of supcrphosphate is very
beneficial to lawn. - Indianapolis

A Pleasure Shared by womcn Only.

Malherbe, The gifted French author, de-
clared that of all things that man possesses,
women alone take pleasure in being pos
sessed. This seems generally true of the
sweeter sex. Like the ivy plant, she longs
for an object to cling to and love-to look to
for protection. This being her prerogative,
ought she not to be told that DR.. Pierce's

ton, debility, relieves mental anxiety and by
pochondria, and promotes refreshing sleep.
